大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 35.36

35.36

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "Furthermore, above, from 'not seeking the five desires'..." onwards: Re-explaining the sūtra text. Because the explanation given above incorporated the views of past masters, what follows from here on is exclusively a new interpretation, having no bearing on the old explanations. The text itself has five parts: first, in terms of the virtue of faith; second, in terms of the intention of bodhi; third, in terms of buddha-nature; fourth, in terms of the four vast vows; fifth, concluding by returning to the genuine. Now, as for the first: the five verses of the sūtra text should be divided into two: the first verse indicates faith and the generation of the mind; the subsequent four verses reveal the virtues of faith.
